Description: Ten years after shooting Kafi’s Story, British filmmaker Arthur Howes re-entered the Sudan clandestinely to find out what had happened to the Nuba of Torogi. Everywhere he encountered the jihad or holy war. The fundamentalist Sudanese regime is pursuing its policy of forced Arabization through a systematic disruption of the Nuba family, by killing their cattle and burning their villages. While Nuban women hide in caves 60,000 Nuba children have been abducted to camps were they are forcibly converted to Islam. Howes estimates that 40% of the Sudanese Army is now composed of Nuba men.
